how do you attach the loop to the tree branch?

You wrap the straps around the branch and then clip on the caribiners to close the loops. You also hook the swing onto the caribiners.

It is so easy. I had to get on a ladder, as my tree limb was so high off the ground. I draped the strap over the branch where I wanted it, then grabbed the end with the hook, fed it through the sewn looped end of the strap and snugged it onto the limb. It was then just a matter of figuring out which link of my swing's chains I wanted to connect to the hooks. I experimented with how high I wanted my swing. So far, they are working great! Amy

The loop goes through itself very easily. Getting it to the tree branch is the challenge. You will need a ladder depending on how high the branch is.

You get a swing and a hanging kit separately - the hanging kit wraps around the branch and the swing attaches to the metal clips.

Judith, you unsnap the metal clasp, remove one end of the straps from the clasp, put loosened end of the strap over the tree branch, replace the loosened in the clasp, then close the metal clasp.

we hung it from two ropes tied to a tree limb. We used rings on the end of the lines and carabiners to join the two.

Well, out of the box, I don't think the strap is long enough to loop around a tree. However, it could be done if you are willing to spend extra on a piece of 1.5 inch nylon strap and carabiner(s), then loop it through the end of the rip60. It still be cheaper than the TRX Force. IMHO.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

There is a closed loop so a hook is not needed, but it really depends on where you are hanging it. The tree branch my feeder is on is very thick, so I use a hook. This is the hook I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HHM43W?cache=ca2fa0ab5f9026c637a6d291178931c6#ref=mp_s_a_1_1&qid;=1393265549&sr;=8-1 there are 2 sizes available

Yes, I attached it to a tree. You would just need a sturdy branch that the child can reach.

Insert 2 or 3 inch wood screws into the tree. One for each piece. Leave about 1/2 inch of the screws exposed. Hang the pieces on the screw heads. Then once each year or so, check the screws to ensure they're still exposed enough to hold the pieces.(The tree grows and will eventually cover the screws). Back the screws out slightly as necessary to hold the pieces.

I have 2 chains we hung from a tree years ago for my daughter to have various swings as she grew up. I now use those to chains and a 'S' hook I got to hang my chair hammock. The chair just has a loop at the top made with same fabric as the rest of the chair.

It has a long loop on one end. You can wrap it around the branch and pull the ladder through the loop to cinch it tight.

Only a string loop. It is very lightweight and I just used a bag clip to attach it to the chain that hangs from a ceiling fan on my deck. We're experiencing a severe thunderstorm as I write this and it's still holding.

Probably.. depending on the diameter of the branch. However, you would need a set of S-hooks or a couple of chain connectors in order to attach the upper section of chain to itself after looping the chain over the branch... of course a pair of eye screws could be used but that would risk the life if the tree.

It's approx 3 ft 8 inches if measuring from end to end( including the loop). Nice option to attach to big pole or even tree trunk.

Please, it's just a string! Take a new piece of string a few inches long, tie a loop in both ends, slip out the original string (it's not permanently attached... it loosens very easily, no cuts needed), and loop your extension piece onto either end (exactly the same way the original string is looped around and threaded through the attachment point). Be an example to your kids (like Catherine) by having a positive attitude about solving simple problems resourcefully.

You'll need pliers (chain-nose or round-nose) to close the loop all the way. Watch this video for a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUAG8JBltEE

I never hung mine yet. I need another alternative because my tree isn't string enough.

I would zip tie it to the fence and then pull it tight to the nearest tree, cut it, staple it, zip tie and staple the cut piece and go to the next tree.

The answer depends on how far apart the trees are. You will get about a foot of chain with a screw anchor that comes with the hammock. What I did was utilize two separate sections of chain wrapped around each tree secured with a bold to form a loop around the tree. Then extend the separate sections of chain to each end of the hammock hook and just hook into the tree chains at your desired distance. Buy the sections of chain based on how far it is between the trees. I found rope was not satisfactory as it stretched.
